Burp Suite vs Renovate

From $499 per user/year (Professional)

Free and open source

PortSwigger raised Professional from $449 to $499 per user/year on 6 January 2026. Licences are strictly per named user and cannot be shared. Enterprise is quote-based by scanning agents and applications.

Free and open source, including the hosted GitHub app. Mend sells an enterprise edition with support.

Community Edition is free but omits the scanner and rate-limits key tools.

Everything, self-hosted

• The reference tool for manual application penetration testing — every security professional knows it.
• Exceptional scanner accuracy, particularly for injection classes.
• Professional Edition is remarkably good value at under $500 per year.

• Far more configurable than Dependabot — grouping, scheduling and automerge rules that keep PR volume sane.
• Supports dozens of package managers including Docker, Terraform, Helm and GitHub Actions.
• Free hosted app, or self-host it entirely.

• Community Edition is too limited for serious automated work.
• Requires security expertise; it is not a push-button product for developers.
• Enterprise licensing is a significant step up in cost.

• The configuration surface is large enough to be its own learning curve.
• Without careful grouping rules it produces a lot of pull requests.
• Vulnerability context is thinner than a dedicated SCA tool.

Security teams and penetration testers, plus enterprises needing scheduled authenticated scanning.

Teams that outgrew Dependabot's limited configuration and want update policy under control.
